"We got some power from Kenny when we needed it most," O-Twins manager Ron Gardenhire told The Sentinel. "He's had some real pop in his bat."

Morgan went on to hit a total of 13 home runs for AA Orlando that year, his second-half slowing from his first. His second half would be an indicator of things to come for Morgan.

It was Morgan's fifth season in minor league ball, he would only get one more, including a short stint at AAA and his career would be done.

Morgan began his career with the Twins in 1986, taken in the 17th round out of UNC-Charlotte. Sent first to single-A Kenosha, Morgan hit just .214 and three home runs in 61 games.

Spending the next two seasons at single-A Visalia, hitting .235 in 1987 and improving that to .283 in 1988 and earning a promotion to Orlando for 1989.

Morgan's average came back down at Orlando, to .248, but he hit 10 home runs.
One of those home runs came to help clinch the first half for the
O-Twins that year, their first of consecutive first-half titles. Down
3-1, Morgan hit a grand slam June 12, according to The Sentinel.

"I tried to make contact and keep it in play, which is something I haven't been doing for almost three weeks," Morgan told The Sentinel. "I hope now I'm starting to see the ball well and only swing at strikes."
